Cleveland and his family have been some
what treated of in the newspapers, but
there is no fuller explanation OF all matters
connected with them than will be found
in "Appleton's New Cycloprdia OF Amer,
lean Biography which is now going
through the press. The first volume OF
this will contain all the Clevelands OF
prominence il American history, and
not a few OF these will be unknown
10 the average reader. Grover Cle'e'
land himself is descended from Moses
Cleveland, who left Ipswich, county OF
Suffolk. England, in 1913, and settled at
Woburn. Mass. This man was the great
grandfather OF the great-great-grandiather
of Grover. President Clevelaud's grand
fathers name was William, and he was Il
silversmith and matchmaker at Norwich,
Conn. His father was Richard Falley
Cleveland, Il Presbyterian preacher, who
graduated at Yale in lN2l.
Grover Cleveland made his first money
at l.. and at this time he WAS paid by his
uncle $50 a week Tor six weeks work. The
labor performed was in connection with
the American Herd Book President
Cleveland atterward aided in several vol
umes of this work, and in the preface To
the fifth volume OF 1861 you will find the
acknowledgment OF his services.

ANOTHER CONFIDENTIAL CIR
CULAR.''

1--WE should be greatly pleased to receive
YOUR free and frank views on this subject,
saws the confidential circular" the REG
rsTER presents this morning TOR the edlh-
cation of its readers.
Much obliged, brothers ScoFIELD and
CowDEN.
The attempt the Republicans are making
TO defeat the Democracy is one so cheeky
that 1t falls down beneath the colossal
weight of its own cheekiness and meets
with exposure ON every side.
But still it is q very natural thing for
Republicans to do.
The Republicans lay their defeat to
Senator CAMDEN in the last election and
fear the same result next election, if ne Is
again sent to the United States Senate.
Of course, then it is natural, though the
scheme proposed is cheeky, for them to
wish his defeat.
Though "this year the circumstances are
peculiar" it is our frank" opinion that
they are not peculiar" enough to close
the eyes of the Democratic members of the
Legislature against the little trick de-
scribed in this confidential circular"
1t is natural for the Republicans to want
some man elected ''who will do us in
finitely less harm than CAMDEN" But if
we know anything of the nature ola Demo-
cratic member of the Legislature he al
ways has peculiar tendency to vote for
the man who will knock around the dry
bones of the z. o. p. as much as possible.
The suggestion that the Republicans
make "a nomination of their own and
then stand by it till the CAMDEN follow
ing falls to pieces" is good one. Though
it will make the Republicans very tired.
But the Democratic members may be able
to give the State all the legislation re-
quired for the next two years while the
Republicans are standing.
To sum 1t all up, the Republican bosses
have bit of infinitely more than they can
chew.
Every Democrat who reads this "circu-
lar can see where his duty lies, as plain as
daylight. No better argument is needed
for uniting him in solid phalanX with his
party to Illustrate the sinister designs OF
the enemy and preserve the Democracy OF
the State.
